Dublin, County Dublin, Ireland
Tuesday, September 9, 2008
While we've been away it's been reassuring to see that absolutely nothing has changed (except the toll has gone up on the M50 toll bridge in Dublin, but that's a weekly occurrence) and you all seem to have had the wettest summer since the beginning of time. We nearly got beaten up walking down Grafton Street for looking so tanned and smug. Not to worry, our tans are disappearing rapidly and we're getting just as depressed as the rest of you about this rubbish weather.
Our plans are a bit up in the air at the moment. We're looking for work in Dublin, Galway, Edinburgh and London and we're happy to wait until the right job pops up. Patience is the key now. We'll let you know as soon as we know.
It's weird not having a pidgin English conversation every time we want to buy something, and when ever I hear an Irish voice I think "Ohh, an Irish person" before I quickly realise that I'm in Ireland and it's not uncommon to meet Irish people. We miss the heat, although it's nice not to be constantly sweating, and we miss the madness too. Everything is so organised and polite in this part of the world.
But it's great to be home and seeing everyone again and to have such convenience and so many familiar things around us. A lot of people have asked us what our favourite part of the trip was, and to be honest, I change my answer every time. There were just so many highlights and it's very hard to process what we've just done. It's been a blast, but it's back to reality now. So that's the end, you can all stop living vicariously through our blog posts and we'll all get back to the fun and frollicks of living life on these fair isles.
Ta ta!
